The Species that Mathematically Predicted Order 66 & Promptly Dipped From the Republic

For those who don't know, this species actually created the secret hyperspace lane that went straight to Coruscant during the Clone Wars. They even helped the separatists create other hyperspace lanes that they could use

"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper, Smooth Skin?"

Funny how the smartest aliens in the galaxy saw through math that Clone Wars was gonna happen & stepped away from the Senate but still got involved with the Separatists

The Givins did some math, went, “oh shit, this is going to end bad.” and dipped.

Givins bullying other species : "imagine not being able to survive in a vacuum, couldn't be me!"

... if the Givin could only survive a day in vacuum, they'd still need pressurization and life support on their vessels, unless they only used them for very short trips.

The Givin and the Bith might be vibin' well together... at least on the intellectual level.

I remember hearing you guys mention this species in a older video. Makes me proud to be a long time fan of the series and of your channel.

They're called Givins cuz they be Givin math problems when you meet them

In the old West End Games Star Wars TTRPG, Given was one of the races in the extended books, and I enjoyed playing one of these folk who was a ship pilot/mechanic. He considered himself a dunce among his people, and thus took to the stars where he would not be in the way or shame his family. While not a fighter per se, he did successfully figure the force needed to bounce a grenade to where he wanted it several times. His party was impressed, which he thought odd as such basic formulas were the center of most games played by Given Toddlers. Playing up the alien mindset, I both amused and frustrated the other characters in the party (fortunately, the players tended more towards amused!). A fond memory for me.

I can see why they left the Republic in such a hurry, seems they felt like they were gonna have a bad time.

Gotta respect them for always making the answer three. As a stats man, I greatly appreciate a simple whole number.

Aw, look at ShyGuy, all grown up

This world sounds absolutely awful, the water and atmosphere shifting so much would be cataclysmic. It’d scrape away the surface, sling debris everywhere in constant tsunamis and rending storms, the crust would heat and tear. What an awful place to live.

Who knew their was a species you couldnt bankrupt, couldnt invade, ran by numbers, and could beat a force user in blaster reflection without the force.

The Separatists, "Wait... we could have just seceded without a war?!"

Givin the mathematical greeting: A = (pi/1012 * 16072) * (RxR) * (E^infinity)^2 A is a vector perpendicular to R (Cross product) and e^infinity is simply infinity. Thus, A is a vector perpendicular to R with magnitude infinity. "Greetings. What is the solution to the one-dimensional bounded (finite) integral int(ln(cos((x^2)/tan(x))*(3/(x-1)), evaluated from negative one to positive three? Have a good day." -- A Givin, probably

"Spooky, scary Givins and shivers down your spine..."

How have I never heard of this species. As a mathematician, I love these people.

Oh God, just imagine the equations that are forming inside that Givin Sith Scientist's mind from Star Wars Legacy as he's committing genocide against the Mon Calamari.
